The CSS I can handle. It's the writing of the jQuery function I need
that I can't do. For convenience's sake, I'll paste my message again.
Here's what I *want* to do: I want to have jQuery reposition a footer
below a div which has no height (because all its children are
absolutely positioned). This needs to happen both on window load and
resize (possibly even with unhiding content?), in order to keep the
footer at the bottom of any columns which change in size.
Considering that the dimensions plugin doesn't seem to have any
facility to tell me where the bottom of an element is, I think that I
need to: grab the height and top offset from the children of
#content; add the top offset and height of each child together;
determine which child has the greatest total height; and finally set
the top of the footer to the result.
I am just not sure how to go about this. I've managed to get the
height of any one container, and set the top of the footer to that,
but of course, it's not down far enough, as I don't have the top
offset and such. I can't figure out how to get only the top offset
from the dimensions plugin - it hands me an array, and I can't seem
to cull just the second element out of it.
